Thin Seeding for Wheat.

If your eed bed is in good order, one
bushel of good seed is plenty for one
acre of good ground. If wheat is
sowed too thick some of it smothers
aud perishes, and what remains will
be too thick to STOOL. and it will be
short, weak aud spindly, having very
small heads averaging from four ia
fifteen grains per head. and the yield
will also be very small. Wheat should
be sowed thin enough so that it has
room enough to stool, and it will
make itself just as thick as it, ought
to be by stooling. Nature provides
for all the vegetable kingdom alike. l
have two heads of wheat plucked be-
fore the wheat was cut, one large head
from stool where the wheat was thin,
and one small head where the wheat
was thick. l took the largest
head from either place. The variety
being Fultz The large head was in
some places six grains abreast, and con-
tains seventy-six large, well-developed
grains. The small head has two
grains abreast and contains eighteen
average-sized grains. This is lesson
for me. But suppose we have our
ground in good order, and sow one
bushel of good seed per acre, and each
grain brings stalk. and each stalk
has head containing twenty-five aver
age grains Ito say nothing about the
stooling). This would give us twenty
i've bushels per acre. Now hold thai
if we SOW good seed in good ground
at the right time and in the proper
way, nature will bring the return every
time.
Three years ago sowed five acres
of wheat, one bushel of seed per acre,
and nine acres of the same held one
aud.a-half bushels of seed per acre,
this same var ETY. of wheat. The five
acres made 100 bushels of nice plump
wheat The nine acres made 10;
bushels of average wheat.
Four years ago one of nv neighbor'
hired drill to SOW his wheat with
and through mistake hcput the bush
ell wheel on instead of the bushel and 8
half wheel His hand drilled xteen
acre field one bush ell per acre. and told
him there were no sixteen acres in tina
field, for it only took sixteen bushels
of wheat to sow it. But when the mar
that owned the drill told him that hi
had sowed it with the bushel wheel hi
was uneasy. But helped thresh thu
crop and it made thirty-two bushels o

LADYBUGs AS INSECT DEsTRoYERs.
The article credited to Harper's
Young People in our issue of Sept. II
mentioned many curious facts in the
history of the ladybug. That many
people have a superstition against
destroying these beautiful and useful
little insects is undoubtedly Il great
blessing to the world. The rhymes
wherein children and others were eX'
hor.ed to let the beautiful bug 'ily
away home were easily learned. and
during the dark ages were doubtless
far more effective in preserving it from
destruction than would be the fullest
knowledge of the benefits it confers.
Thus the pretty superstitions about the
ladybug or ladybird are found, after
all, to have been in their time great
benefit to the world. Is not this true OF
many other things which the great
world now despises, simply because il
has out-grown themP Yet even Queen
Victoria, after reigning fifty years oven
great empire, recalled with pleasur'
able interest toy which delighted hel
when six years old. Recurring to the
lady bug, it is such valuable assist
ant to the farmer and fruit grower chat
its wanton destruction ought to be
strictly prohibited. Perhaps even yet
however, little superstition on the
subject is better safeguard for ON
friend, enlightened though we deem
ourselves to be.-American Cultivation

The Naughty Little Girl.

She Is cunning, she is tricky,
am greatly erieved to tell
And her hands are always sticky
With chocolate caramel;
Her dolly's battered features
Tells of many frantic hurl.
She's the terror OF her teachers,
That naughty little girl
She dotes upon bananas,
And she smears them on my knee,
And she peppers my Havanas,
And she laughs to hear me sneeze'
And she steals into my study,
And she turns my books awhirl,
And her boots are always muddy
That naughty little grill
When she looks as she were dreaming.
OF the angels In the air,
know she's only scheming
How to slyly pull my hair;
Yct-why, can't discover
Spite of every tangled curl,
She's darling, and love her

Rising Sun Library.

A special meeting Of Rising Sun
Library Association assembled in the
Library Room on Friday afternoon
Fast. at the call of the President,
Z r. Burlington, to determine what
disposition should be made Of the
Library. The committee who were
appointed to secure propositions re-
ported three; one from E. K. Brown
Offering a room for the use of the
Library in his jewelry store and to
act as librarian for S25 per annum,
and in the event of converting the
library into circulating one. $25 ad-
ditional, providing the book fees
amounted to that sum.
DR.. A. H. Smith proposed to fur
nish q room for the use of the library
in his dental office, and act as Libra
Tian for the sum OF $40 per annum.
T. T. Worrall offered room on the
second floor of his store and to take
charge of the books as librarian for
$500 per year and his family to have
the use of the books free of charge.
After debating the propositions q
vote was taken to decide the matter.
and DR. Smiths proposal was accept.
ed. AS soon as the shelving can be
placed in position the books will be
transferred to their new quarters.
A number of the stockholders were
IN favor of giving the library cir
culating feature, but The constitution
OF the Association prescrihes that a
change can only be made by posting a
notice of the proposed change. one
month before the annual meeting
which takes place on tbefrst Saturday
in January of the first week in that
month having seven days. which will
be the second Saturday of next JAN
uary. 1t will be seen that no change
in the direction of circulating Ii
hrary can be made on account of
constitutional distractions.
The ladies present suggested that
In order to stir up more interest in
tbe library that festival be held
during the summer, proceeds to be
applied to the benefit of the Library
and that such books as were unde-
sirable lie selected and sold at public
suction at the festival meeting. Both
very good suggestions which should
be carried out.

Facts Concerning the Change in the Presi.
dency of the Cincinnati National Bank.
Cincinnati SPECIAL.
The true inwardness of the sudden change in
the presidency of the Cincinnati National Bank,
yesterday, was not revealed until to-day when
a deed was found just placed record from j.
F. Larkin to the bank of certain valuable city
1854, $50, together with a mortgage to secure over
$27, 927 due depositors. The story of all this is
as follows:
For some days since the Fidelity Bank smash
the Cincinnati National has been accounted
weak and ten other strong banks had been Civ
for help. Before this was accorded the banks
sent q committee to investigate more
closely the banks condition. They found
the extent of s64 900. and that he had
issued certificates of deposit to forty PERSONS
e Co., instead of in the name of the Cincinnati
National Bank. in which certainly the most of
them supposed they were deposting. The
amounts ranged from $25 TO $4,000, and great
many of the depositors were ladies'
The committee at once declined TO extend any
further aid under such circumstances. but vir-
tually told Larkin he must resign and allow
Frank Alter to take his place. This Mr.. LarkiE
agreed to do, but it was some time before Alter
would consent to take the presidency, but final
ly, with the assurance of the other bankers that
they would give him all needed support, he
agreed. Larkin was then required to make Sc
cure both the bank by the deed before men
toned and the depositors in the name of ]. 4.
Larkin & CO. by the mortgage, whereupon Alter
succeeded him. Larkin has been banker here
supporter, but witt very peculiar ways. to say
the least There is title sympathy for him. He
is completely ruined Where his money went
to is not yet known

For some weeks past it has been advertised
that prize-fght would take place at Shelby
vile on the 4th inst. It will not be sparring
match, or friendly bout with gloves but
regular prize-fght between two professional
sluggers. There is a law against prize-fghting
in this State, making it punishable by fine
and imprisonment. The publicity that has
been given to the ShelbyvilEe affair deprives
the officers of the law of the excuse of ignor-
ance which sometimes avails in such cases,
and the public have right to expect that
the proposed fight will be broken up. It's
occurrence would be disgrace to those whose
duty it is to enforce the law.
